Hey if you aren't Black, and your'e tweeting in support of this stupid hashtag, please be sure to take the BLM tags out of user+bio. Your activism only works for Black people who you don't have to support beyond a tweet. We don't want you.
#IStandWithNoelle
Your compassion and love for Black lives, only exists for Black people you can support in a disconnected and impersonal way (tweeting about their trauma, donating to gofundmes, signing petitions, etc).
But when it comes to your average negro, and the microagressions+everyday racism they face (that you are typically a participant of), you can't find the same energy to condemn it; because that would mean doing a lot of leg work in your very own social spheres.
Unlearning racist beliefs, checking racist family members&friends, coming to terms with how deeply intertwined racism (esp antiblackness) is in all systems of the world, condemn your "favs" because they are often just as ignorant (if not more so) than you....
That's why so many of you BLM in bio clout chasers SEEM to care about Black lives....until you come face to face with a Black person's response to racism. It's why so many of you are quick to tweet "Justice for Breonna!" all while harassing Black people who are criticizing Noelle
Please stop acting like Black people are being irrational bullies, please stop forcing us to explain 101 ways in which that joke about Sow was racist, stop being fucking jerks.
If you fall into this category, I highly urge you to step back and reflect on why your'e centering your feelings in this situation, and why it is that your'e harassing 20 different Black people about what Noelle said.
